Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

I have the first Chromecast. Google emailed me a few years ago that it's no longer supported, and that it'll be a brick soon. That was about 3 years ago. As long as I can project my desktop, it works for me!

And I was getting really concerned about getting the latest model too.

When it stops working you can buy a wireless hdmi transmitter

I'm still on an early gen Chromecast and never see any adverts. Very occasionally crashes (once a fortnight).

I just fired my gen1 up on my 1080p screen and it looks like crap. I think they have already deprecated the bandwidth?
